[RESOLVED] Simple question

[mikawhat]

OK this is too simple i believe, however i don't know how to make it work...
I have two variables:

$var1 = 'php';
$var2 = 'bulder';

i want to create a word with those two vars which should be 'phpbuilder'.

i've tried echo "$var1$var2"; and echo "$var1" & "$var2"; but no luck. what i should use?

[aspekt9]

$var 3 = $var1.$var2;

Or:

$var3 = "$var1$var2";

You'll find that the first sample will be faster if you're dealing with large sets of data.

Just to cover some more possibilities:

<?php
$var1 = "foo";
$var2 = "bar";

echo $var1 . $var2 . "<br>\n";
// ...or...
echo $var1, $var2, "<br>\n";  // only with echo, not with other string literals
// ...or...
echo "$var1$var2<br>\n";
// ...or...
printf("%s%s<br>\n", $var1, $var2);
// ...or...
echo $var1;
echo $var2;
echo "<br>\n";
// ...or...
echo "{$var1}{$var2}<br>\n";
// ...or...
echo <<<EOD
$var1$var2<br>
EOD;
?>

i need to create a var which should contain several values
$var1 = '110011';
$var2 = '0000122';

$var3 = '9u9yhyh' & '001188819' & '$var1' & '$var2';

So $var3 should be 9u9yhyh0011888191100110000122

[NogDog]

// must use double quotes for this method, not single quotes:
$var3 = "9u9yhyh$var1$var2";
// either type of quotes for this method:
$var3 = '9u9yhyh' . $var1 . $var2;   // concatenation operator is period (full stop)
// another choice:
$var3 = sprintf('9u9yhyh%s%s', $var1, $var2);

See Strings and String Operators.
